The win was snatched out of NorthWood's grasp with no time left on the clock – a successful free throw by their competition sealed the game's score at 55-54.

"Fitting end to my career," Neff said. "It gives me something to think about for the next how many years. It won't be 37."

3. Top honor at Elkhart city science fair goes to Madelin Lapp

The 30th annual Elkhart City Science Fair was held today, where 216 local students showed their scientific interests and competed for top prizes.

Madelin Lapp, a seventh-grader at Pierre Moran Middle School, thrived at the competition, taking home the top award for grades six through eight. Her project looked into whether color makes words easier or harder to read.

This week's best photos are dominated by action shots taken at sporting events around town, but also feature a touching photo of Lana Canen, the Elkhart woman who spent eight years in prison for a murder she didn't commit; images of elementary school students trying out new instruments for the first time; and shots of flooding caused by the week's higher temperatures.

This year's theme was "black and white and red all over." Locals were encouraged to glitz up in their fanciest clothes for the pub crawl, which Iechyd Da Brewing Company, Crimaldi's Restaurant, McCarthy's on the Riverwalk, 523 Tap and Grill, New Paradigm Brewing Co., Bowly's Crystal Bar and Five Star Dive Bar participated in.
